Palestine Hebrew Teachers Threaten Strike

January 25, 1929

Jerusalem (Jan. 24)

The Merkaz, the central organization of Hebrew teachers in Palestine, has decided to proclaim a strike in all the Hebrew schools in the country beginning tomorrow.

The cause for this action was said to be a reply given by the Jerusalem Zionist Executive to the organization’s demand in regard to the payment of the teachers” salaries. The teachers found the reply unsatisfactory.
